The structure of the plasma membrane has been described as a "fluid mosaic"because The proteins form a changing (mosaic) pattern as they move laterally through the fluid phospholipids The phospholipids flow around the proteins to create an even distribution of the proteins The phospholipids remain stationary and the fluid proteins wander freely The fluid proteins provide a background through which a mosaic of phospholipids, glycolipids, and cholesterol float
What will be an ideal response?
